I had one of your problems and a soft link solved it:

ln -s i386 i686

For the make files (xxx.mk) problem, make sure that the linux utilitie make and the gcc are up to date with what Oracle 9.2.0.1 needs and that the glibc is version 2.2.4-25 or later.

Also there is sort of a bug with the java installer and you will need to soft link the init<your_instance_name>.ora file in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs to the same ones in the
$ORACLE_BASE/<your_instance_name>/pfile/init<your_instance_name>.ora file
